His actions here are equivalent to those of a baby, the creature dumbly smiles, speaks incoherently, and futilely attempts to grab the attention of his parent, or in this case giver of life Frankenstein, all while being blissfully oblivious to everything else. Typically this type of behavior would be viewed as innocent or even endearing, however instead the words jaws and wrinkled are used to describe the scene. “Jaws” evokes a darker, more menacing animalistic aura while “wrinkles”, typically associated with the elderly who are closer to death, are a sign of decay of the human body, both a stark contrast with the image of a newborn baby. This kind of reaction without a doubt would leave some level of psychological damage, that would only continue to grow over the years and transform the creature into the very monster everyone perceives him
